Passing of David Walser

I received some very sad news this evening when I returned home from work. Dave Walser passed away yesterday. As many of you may know, Dave was an active member of our Council and a good friend. He will be greatly missed.

Arrangements are described in the message that I received from the funeral home, below. The Knights will be having a prayer service at 6:30 on Thursday evening at the Henry Walser Funeral Home. It would be greatly appreciated if as many Knights as possible attended the Prayer Service on Thursday at 6:30pm, as well as the funeral.

Visitation will be Thursday from 2:00pm to 4:00pm and 7:00pm to 9:00pm. The funeral will be Friday at 10:00am at St. Mark’s.

Please remember Marianne and the family in your prayers.

Fraternally,

Doug Behl – GK 9276
